Nestled in the central highlands of Kenya, Aberdare National Park is a land of striking contrasts—featuring steep forested ravines, misty moorlands, sparkling waterfalls, and rich biodiversity. This lesser-known gem offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional savannah safari, with its cool mountain air and unique alpine landscapes.

The park is home to a remarkable array of wildlife, including:

• Elephants, black rhinos, leopards, spotted hyenas, and buffalos
• Olive baboons, black and white colobus monkeys, warthogs, and bushbucks
• Rare and elusive species like the giant forest hog, bongo antelope, African golden cat, serval, civet, and the blue duiker

Visitors can enjoy scenic picnics, trout fishing in the crystal-clear rivers, and camping in the moorlands under starry skies.

For bird lovers, Aberdare offers rewarding sightings of over 250 bird species, including Jackson’s Francolin, sparrowhawks, goshawks, eagles, sunbirds, and plovers—making it a haven for ornithologists and photographers alike.

Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, tracking rare forest game, or soaking in panoramic views from the high peaks, Aberdare National Park promises a refreshing and unforgettable mountain safari experience.
